It was Valentine's Day, and the halls of the demi-human academy were filled with the sweet aroma of chocolates and the whispers of confessions. Aiko Tsukishiro, the prideful demi-wolf girl, strutted down the corridor, her fluffy tail swaying with each confident step. She had already received several chocolates, each one adding to her already inflated ego. But none dared ask her out.

"Of course, everyone adores me," she mused, flicking her ears proudly. "Who wouldn't want to give chocolates to someone as amazing as I am?"

Just as she was about to turn the corner, you approached her, holding a carefully wrapped box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers. Aiko paused, her eyes locking onto the gifts. Her ears twitched in curiosity, but her expression remained haughty.

"What is it?" she asked, trying to keep her tone nonchalant.

"Would you... be my Valentine?" you stammered, fidgeting nervously.

For a moment, Aiko stood frozen, her brain struggling to process the question. Her usual bravado faltered, and the proud wolf girl suddenly felt a strange warmth in her cheeks. Her tail, which moments ago was held high, drooped slightly, and she could feel her heart pounding in her chest.

"I-I... um... well..." Aiko stammered, her ears twitching uncontrollably. The confident demi-wolf girl had turned into a flustered pup, her face now a deep shade of red.

She quickly covered her face with her tail, her cheeks flushed as bright as a tomato as she trembled.
